Little Priest
Tribal College
Public Community College in Winnebago, NE. Six-year graduation rate 13%.
- ! Graduation rate 13% — below national average
Academics
Completion is the problem here: 13% graduate within six years. 50% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The part-time picture is harder: 36% return, against 50% full-time. A 7:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 178 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $8,457 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,010 at $0–30k against $10,326 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 80% get grants averaging $3,446, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
